The only situation I know of where the usps will refuse to deliver is if there is some sort of danger, eg a biting dog. A neighbor had to get a P.O. Box because of this.

Maybe this food is cheaper in the EU? At a Lidl in Virginia, a dozen donuts is still about $8.

Sure but those are also like 1/4 the size. Totally different product.

I don’t think KK is quite as pricey as Starbucks. A Starbucks brewed coffee is about 2x the price by volume of McDs. As long as we’re talking about standard kk-sized donuts I think it would be difficult to find them for less than $6/do

I don’t think they are different. In my experience it’s common to buy them by the dozen because you’re taking them to some sort of event.

I don’t get why it’s strange? What I learned from that competition was that bid sizing was way more important than the symbol selection strategy. Trying to beat the other students at iocaine powder wasn’t really a winning proposition.

It’s a good question. You’re right, if I followed it strictly it wouldn’t work. I suppose I rationalized offsetting it because I couldn’t actually go bankrupt. If I was better at math there’s probably some other criterion that takes into ac

I used this to win AI Rock Paper Scissors competition in undergrad. I just played random symbols, but used Kelly criterion to compute my bid. This worked well because the game wouldn’t allow your bankroll to go to 0 — the floor was 1.

I actually feel like Disney would be willing to pay people to spend 2 days in jail in order to keep their fireworks show. You’ve just moved the cost from a fine to a salary.

I always sort of thought it was because we are mostly water.

Because the store owner & seller agreed to the former and not the latter. It’s the agreement they already made. If they want to change the agreement, probably both parties have to agree to the changes.

I mean, what is your brain doing if not that?

I don’t understand why you couldn’t use the average rate of infection to compute this.

Going to college for programming must mean they are quite young indeed. When did colleges even start offering programming degrees? Unless maybe this is some sort of vocational college.

Haha, I wonder if there is some sort of coin protocol that could be compatible with the deep space network. That latency seems like it could really mess things up.

Are there many gains to be had on electric motors? I guess I sort of assumed those had seen quite a bit of optimization already.

To my down voters, read my comment more carefully. I’m talking specifically about the DST offset, not the UTC offset. The DST offset is the amount the clocks are changed in observance of Daylight Saving Time. Most TZs that do this change th

Read my comment again. I’m talking about the DST offset, not the UTC offset. Nepal doesn’t observe DST.

My favorite time zone is Lord Howe Island time zone. Afaik, it’s the only one with a dst offset other than 1 hour (it is 30 minutes).

Decoupling is valuable because it lets you grow the food where it’s needed. Food distribution is hard.

Electric bicycles are notorious for high rate of injury accidents involving motor vehicles. Injuries tend to be similar to motorcycle/car collisions.

Until you have an accident and require lots of carbon intensive medical treatment, and your ebike is trashed. Disclaimer: I ride and love ebikes.

I don’t think that math is right. 1 billion cubic yards is like less than 1 cubic km.

It’s not just that, but certainly some firms have sort of turned it into that.
